I don't know how it works in the 'States, but you are the customer, it's your money, and you should be able to buy what you want. If you want to go for what Rolex would regard as a 'non-standard' combination of watch/bracelet you might end up spending a bit more, but you can do it.

So, for example, there's nothing to stop you simply buying an Oyster bracelet for your watch and getting your local dealer to fit it for you. That's what I did with my GMT in 1969 - I wanted a Jubilee bracelet instead of the Oyster so my local dealer ordered a Jubilee for me (which I paid for) and fitted it. Of course, I ended up with two bracelets and I've still got the original Oyster in the box.

Good luck with it.
